Vinyl stripes installed
Well I ended up doing them myself. I measured and re-measured several times so it took all day (8+ hours). I noticed slight scratches in the vinyl and was wondering if this would go away after I clean them up? Right now the pictures are when the car is dirty because I cant wash it for a week. The Saleen hood ended up comming out OK with the curvatures in the hood. I was very suprised with this and thought it would have been the hardest part. I ended up putting the lower front bumper pieces on backwards because they were on the wrong roll. I was going to do these over when I re order new ones. What do you guys think? If I like them I will probably paint in about a year.

RE: Vinyl stripes installed
I just noticed today that almost all of the bubbles came out. I guess as it drys they will all be gone. Does anyone else that installed these notice that the spoiler pieces are bigger than the stripes on the deck lid?

RE: Vinyl stripes installed
They are bigger because of the curve of the spoiler, but they do look a little bigger when installed as well. I didn't measure mine so i'm not sure if there is any significant difference.
The only thing that really bothers me is that the three piece trunk stripes aren't exactly the same widths. I'd like them to offer the 1 piece rear stripe, i think I could have done a one piece.
